First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether showing smokers a virtual reality (VR) program during a dental cleaning appointment encourages them to use proven quit-smoking tools like counseling, nicotine patches, or text-message programs. About 440 cigarette smokers scheduled for a dental cleaning took part. The goal was to see if the VR experience increased their use of these treatments within 7 months.
